Event Details
Classical Classics explores the remarkable development of chamber music during the Classical period.
Works by Haydn and Mozart, whose music established the foundations of the string quartet, are followed by a rarely performed work by American composer John Antes, one of the earliest known composers born in colonial America.
The program concludes with Beethoven's String Quartet in E Minor, Op. 59, No. 2, a work that reflects the expanding scope and expressive power of the genre.
Together, these four works offer a compelling survey of a pivotal period in history, highlighting both familiar masterpieces and an uncommon musical discovery.
Performed by an outstanding ensemble at New Milford's historic Merryall Center, the program provides an opportunity to experience chamber music at its most inventive, intimate, and enduring.
